Worcester BOE Gives County Commissioners the Finger!

While all other county departments are expected to trim their budgets for the coming fiscal year, the Worcester County Board of Education has told the Worcester County Commissioners that they just can't trim a dime.  In true "IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN" fashion, the BOE claims that it will be students that suffer.

Sure they will.  While enrollment has actually declined in the past six years, the BOE has ADDED 111 new teacher positions and 81 staff positions.  Could the BOE cut some of those administrative jobs?  Of course not.  They'll probably be whining about not giving them raises.

The true agenda unfolds.  Adding to the public payroll is far more important than educating kids.  I only hope that the Worcester Commissions possess the moral courage to knock the bureaucrats down a peg or two.
